Good to see that you have been given quiet a lead time to activate the visa as it gives one time to wrap up things. We continue to wait our application to be processed but remain positive.

acmac Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi. Just wanting to know, my siblings and I now all live in Australia, and waiting for folks 143 visa to come through after having applied for it back in Sept 2016. If, while waiting for the visa, either is diagnosed with cancer, and it's treatable, is there a chance for them to get through their medicals, and if not, is there some sort of compassionate consideration considering all their kids are living here? If still not possible, is there any other option for them to come over on a different visa, etc? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayz Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hello friends, My name is Ray & I live in Australia. Four years ago I lodged my mother's contributory visa 143. The forum is so helpful, I kept reading all your comments/moments of frustration, happiness, anxiety & patience. Recently there is a progress on my mum's application. I thought I'll share the timeline with you (please note she is yet to receive correspondence for 2nd visa charge) Application lodged - 09/09/2015 Request for further documents (Form 80, medicals, AoS, PCC) - 02/07/2019 AoS finalised - 11/07/2019 (Process was quick, it all happened within a week with few trips to centrelink office to manually extract the letter) Requested documents sent to immigration office -18/07/2019 We are waiting for immigration office to review the documents & request for final payment. Whilst it appears all members in this forum based in South Africa, the comments/discussions were quite helpful. My mum lives in India. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Hi, We were told that they would not consider the application until a period of 5 years has passed and the person had to be clear of cancer. Our 5 years will be up next month so hopefully when they come to assess the application all will be good. Our application was lodged in March 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad has had a diagnosis, but the doctor says he was able to remove the tumour, but will only know for certain whether all is clear in October. Unfortunately, my parents already paid for VAC1 back in September 2016. My parents are stuck in SA all by themselves, as my siblings and I have all moved to Australia a couple years ago. Just very lonely for them and a really sad situation as we can see depression taking a hold and our hands are tied. Any help with what other options are available to get them across if the 143 visa isn't approved? The 143 visa did seem to be the one with least number of refusals, so had my hopes up. Also, if the 143 is still on the cards, are they able to come over on a 600 visa? Thank you in advance for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elna57 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 @acmac. Certainly the visitors visa will still be allowed, perhaps with some private medical coverage requirements but certainly they will be able to visit while waiting on the 143 visa grant. Ask @TeeTMI. Perhaps she can give you options and advice. Best wishes for your dad's full recovery soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsb733 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Hello all this is my second post here. My agent received email this morning from immigration. Case officer only asked to apply assurance of support. Email didn’t say to provide form 80 or any other document. I applied my parents 143 visa on 02/11/2015. Did anyone else who applied around that time received any email? update on this.. received another email from case officer requesting all other documents like from 80, medical etc. so happy Edited July 29, 2019 by gsb733 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acmac Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If my parents have applied for 143 visa (with my father as primary applicant) and paid VAC1, if my father is rejected due to medicals, will my mother automatically be rejected for the visa too even though she's in the clear?

Rayz Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) @VGill, 6 months is unusually long time. I'm not aware of this timeline. Once I had my identity checked at Centrelink on a Friday, I got a call from AoS team on Monday & a final acceptance email by following Friday. Sorry there are no hints/tips to follow.
